Dior Impressions

Dior Impressions

For those who weren't able to visit the Musée Christian Dior in Granville, France, this summer, a new tome captures in its pages what the exhibition space explored behind the villa's doors—the ongoing inspiration the haute couture house has drawn from Impressionist painters such as Claude Monet, Auguste Renoir, and Edgar Degas. We have a sneak-peek at the book, which includes looks designed by Raf Simons, John Galliano, and, bien sûr, Christian Dior himself.
